Holy Saturday ~ April 4th: EASTER VIGIL* ~ 7:00 pm ~ ST. MARY'S CHURCH
Morning Prayer: 9:00 am ~ Chapel
Easter Basket Blessing: Noon ~ Chapel
The Easter Vigil is the restoration of the early Church’s tradition as the great celebration of adult baptism and confirmation. It is the high point in the liturgical year. The vigil begins in darkness (usually outside) and the long procession of candlelight that enlivens the church reminds us that Jesus is the light of the world who has conquered all darkness and death. The Paschal candle that is lit at the Easter Vigil will remain in the church throughout the year as a sign of Christ’s death and resurrection.
Family Faith Activity: During the day on Holy Saturday, spend some time as a family talking about the Paschal Mystery — Jesus’ crucifixion, death and resurrection. Take a walk around your neighborhood looking for signs of new life in springtime. Talk about how Jesus rising to new life is truly transformative and life-changing.

Good Friday: Apr 3rd
Morning Prayer: 9:00 am ~ Chapel
Stations of the Cross: Noon ~ Main Church
CELEBRATION OF THE LORD'S PASSION ~ 3:00 pm ~ NATIVITY OF THE BVM
Good Friday is a somber remembrance of Jesus’ crucifixion and death on the cross. It is a day of fasting and penance and a time to examine all of the places in our lives where we fail to follow Christ and fall into sin. Good Friday is not merely a commemoration of a historical event; rather, Christ’s sacrificial death on the cross, along with his glorious resurrection, comprise the heart of the Christian faith.
Good Friday is not a Mass; holy Communion that is distributed has been consecrated on Holy Thursday and kept in the tabernacle for adoration. Also Stations of the Cross are offered on Good Friday.
Family Faith Activity: Pray the Lord’s Prayer at bedtime on this night in remembrance of Christ’s gift for all of salvation.
